CONWAY, SC (WMBF) - Conway Police Department, Horry County Police Department, Horry County Sheriff's Department and the South Carolina Highway Patrol are partnering to host a Gun Buyback program on March 29.

The event will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at a Father's Place located at 809 Wright Blvd. in Conway.

You can turn in an unloaded firearm anonymously, no questions asked, to receive a $100 gift card for long guns, $200 gift card for handguns, and a $300 gift card for assault rifles.

All firearms must be unloaded and transported in the trunk of a vehicle.

No firearm dealers or pawn shops are allowed to participate, and officers can limit the number of gift cards to individuals.

Highway Patrol troopers say they are searching for a 2001– 2005 Silver Toyota Sequoia or 2004 – 2005 Toyota Tundra with damage to right front headlight assembly and missing right side mirror. (Source: SCHP)
